    Caesar salad
    Meghan W.

    We were pleasantly surprised by this unassuming roadside spot. From the front it doesn't look like much - tucked in next to a sporting good and CBD/week shop. The outside was lovely with a cozy foliage lined patio. They're known for Italian food so we happily obliged. We had the lasagna with bolognese, the tortellini alla Michelangelo, shrimp de pomodoro with pasta, and Caesar salad. Everything was freshly prepared with great flavor. The lasagna was surprisingly light - not at all greasy or too dense. The coconut cake was delicious too! Our server was awesome. Friendly and approachable - very kind!

    My beautiful wife & I are vacationing and for our first night we decided to try this establishment. We are very glad we did! We enjoyed the outdoor seating. My wife really liked the muffuletta (plantation). I enjoyed immensely my pizza with meatball. The sauce , cheese, crust & meat combined perfectly. Caitlin was an awesome server. She was on fire! We both highly recommend the Bayside Gourmet!

    Grouper Reuben and pasta salad

    Super cute place, absolutely not what I was expecting when I looked at other reviews. We were passing through Islamorada on the way to Marathon and stumbled across this place. If you blink, you miss it. The interior transports you back to the 80-90's and it's absolutely so cute! From the vintage arcade games, to the service and the delicious food, you can't go wrong. 10/10 in my books and can't wait to visit again.

    Definitely the best food while in the Keys! We loved the outside patio. Small with 5 tables well spread out. The food was amazing. We split an entree salad as well as an entree so we could have dessert. They have amazing pasta dishes we let our waitress choose for us. Same with the desserts. She did amazing! We split the Greek salad one night and the Caesar another night. We had a seafood pasta dish, shrimp di pomodoro one night and spaghetti and meatballs another night.

    Very few 5 star rated restaurants in Islamorada but this one was easily. The waiting area had retro standup arcade games - played Ms Pac Man and got the high score. There about eight tables in the small restaurant and outside seating but way too humid out for that idea. The decor was 1980's themed with Blockbuster Video boxes on the walls in addition to retro album covers like Men at Work and Van Halen. The Grouper Reuben sandwich and the Baby Spinach Salad with Tuna were very fresh and tasty and reasonably priced. The bathroom was updated and clean.

    Their hook and cook is the best tasting. We did try their pizza the night before and that was delicious too!

    Interior. Casual. Comfortable.

    This is a gem and not touristy. Locals love it for the food and prices. Nice large outdoor patio and old-time video games make this place an enjoyable spot. Service is always exceptional. Grouper Reuben is the best in the Keys.

    Key Lime Pie
    Samantha B.

    Came here one night as I was driving through to stop and get some dinner. I was able to get parking right up front. The cashier was super nice and really helpful. Her name was Ashley and she just answered all my questions and helped me out with nothing but patience! I ordered the Chicken Angelini dish and a key lime pie to go. It didn't take long and my food was ready! The portion of the dish was great. I decided to sit outside and eat some before heading back on the road and Omg it was piping hot!!!! (Love to see it) I will say although the dish portion was great, and the chicken was nice, the "garlic white wine sauce" was not much of anything. It just tasted like oil. Nothing else. So I would maybe order again with a different sauce if possible. As for the key lime pie, I take my key lime pies seriously and this one did not disappoint!! It had more sweetness to it, which usually I am against since I firmly believe key lime pies are meant to be a perfect blend of tart and sweet, HOWEVER, this pie blew my mind because the "sweetness" came from something else and I can't put my finger on it but I loved it. Kinda tasted like the caramelized sugar used for flan, so maybe they used caramelized sugar on the crust?? Not sure what it was but I loved it. Really enjoyable and can't wait to come back and try more items off this menu.

    Enrico's has a sign on the front of their storefront saying it's NY style pizza, and as that's my…read morefavorite type of pizza, I had high hopes. Their pizza is thin crust like NY style, but that's where the similarities end. I found the crust a bit flavorless and the sauce lacking in spices as well. The pepperoni and meatball pizzas were well topped, but the spinach garlic pizza we ordered had barely anything on it. For a large pizza, I'd say each slice had 2-3 small spinach leaves, tops. It was extremely sparse considering you pay around $3 for extra toppings. It's edible for sure but if you want a solid slice of NY pizza, I'd skip this spot.

I could say this has been the worst dining experience I've had in a long time. Not only was the service horrible, but they hardly had any of the items on the menu. I remember the meatballs, pizza and rolls being amazing so we ordered that. The meatballs had potential but they must have been frozen and were warm on the outside but the middle was cold. There was no way of getting the waiter to tell him since we waited about 25 minutes to get our order in. Mind you we were the only ones in the restaurant. The rolls were not edible. The pizza was ok, but the crust had no salt whatsoever so you couldn't eat it. I was going to try the dessert but opted not to since it would have taken half hour more. It's such a shame because they were so good. Never again. I usually do not leave bad reviews, but this was just total neglect of a once good establishment.

The place is small and we sat at the bar. It's a cool, dive bar vibe with memorabilia on the wall. There were only a handful of others there, but the service was slow, especially considering it wasn't very crowded. It seems like the waitress was distracted and forgot about us. Eventually, we were taken care of. We all got one of their sodas and thought h they tasted good. We tried to order their award-winning fish dip, listed on the specials board, but the waitress said they were out of chips. Ok, fine -- we said "forget it" and moved onto the main course. We all ordered some variation of the Fancy Nancy, their namesake burger. It was a good burger but not the best in Florida. Not even close. The fries were frozen and nothing to write home about. Others in our party ordered the "award-winning" potato salad, which tasted pretty good. As an aside, I ordered my burger medium well, and it was cooked as desired. Everyone else ordered their burger medium and two were very pink, more like medium rare or rare. It seems like most of their awards and accolades were earned pre-COVID. We wanted to like this local spot but I have to imagine it's not what it once was.
